Special March Event

23 March 2017 — 5:30pm to 8:30pm

We’re honored to have hosted Daniel Szuc, who is came all the way from Hong Kong just for us.

Our speaker, Dan Szuc.

What if we could create an ecosystem that encourages people to thrive?

People love …

Working with other people and projects that matters

Positively influencing and learning from the people they work with

Energising people they work with to be and do better

Having a shared sense of narrative and purpose

Continuously learning from customers.

But sometimes people spend significant amounts of time at work on projects that do not provide meaning for themselves and others.

We all get caught up with the workings, speed and delivery of our projects that we forget about …

Our own wellbeing

To reflect on our project stories and observations

To share those observations with the people we work with on our own teams and on other teams

Collate the aggregated learnings from projects to determine what it means for better integrated practices over time.

This results in people feeling purposeless, stressed, unhealthy and in a state of “sleepwalking.”

So this presentation together will help us …

Take a step back and breather from our projects

Examine the frustrations at work

Look at what a successful project does and does not do

Examine the soft skills needed to nurture our own capabilities

Look at key project artifacts needed to help us prioritise and focus on what matters

Look at an integrated framework for make meaningful work

Finally, this presentation will leave participants with a manifesto for make meaningful work and an integrated framework to help us all move from being stuck (“Sleepwalking”) on projects to help us flow (“Sparkle”).
